Post a character you used to hate but now like

A character many hate and that I used to hate as well is Sakura Haruno. Still hate the early Sakura though, more useless than a margikarp. But after she masterd the healing jutsu and saved Hinatas and Narutos life I started to like her. Of course as a medical ninja you can't expect her to be that useful in combat but she is pretty useful in doing her medical job. After she trained with Tsunade she became better in combat as well, I mean she defeated Kido and has the Strength of a Hundred Seal as well mastered the Healing Power Alteration Technique. Of course she is by far not as powerful as Naruto and Sasuke but both were impressed by her strenght.

Sakura has great chakra control and healing abilities but isn't that useful in battle. In my opinion the ability to heal and save lifes as well as destroing whole buildings with one punch isn't that useless. But I know many think differently :)
